Fall Stitchettes Day

Today’s Stitchette day and I’m collating like crazy. Sticking stickers, stuffing envelopes, printing instructions. wha? huh? who left this all til the last possible minute? cetainly not me.

Anyway, here’s the skinny again. The limited edition of Fall Stitchettes go on sale today at 4:00 Chicago time in the shop. And for those of you who emailed me asking what the heck are Stitchettes. Good question! They are embroidery pattern sets with postcards of the designs, iron on transfers and instructions. The four designs are below.

I don’t think I mentioned all their final names yet. I adjusted one of them because it occurred to me to not have repeats of letters in case some day I want to do an A-Z set. So Stan Studies is now Ernie’s Edification. Much more fitting I think. And here he is with his girlfriend Hazel Hurrahs.

And here’s Wilson Walks Walter with Bea’s Backpack.

Ok, there they are! I’m very excited. The postcards turned out wonderful again and Tim made up the cutest stickers. Thanks for checking in, hope to see you at 4:00 🙂

Oh NO! Address disaster! I was so worried and rushing through the PayPal transaction that I told it to ship to my OLD WORK ADDRESS! My old office where I really never never want to go again and they might just throw it out! Help help!
Ok, I’ll stop with the exclamation points and just say that if you’ll drop me an email, I’ll send you all my real info and all the info that might be coming to you via PayPal and I hope we can straighten it all out.

Oh, and did I say thanks yet? Because those are going to be awesome. Yay!

I am soo happy to have ordered some – they will look great with the other set, I am thinking about making a long wall hanging with pockets for my daughter to store things with a stichette on the front of each. Just one question though – how long will it be till you get some more stickers in? They are fab, and I wanted to combine postage of a couple of packs of these with my stitchettes to the UK. Thanks, Liz

Hi Hillary,
I got my WONDERFUL Stitchette’s yesterday and I’m SO delighted! I have a question and thought I’d post it here in case others had the same thought…
May I enlarge your patterns? Do you give permission for that? It’s strictly for personal use. Yea or nay, I will respect your wishes. Thank you! 🙂
